"out of the Frying Pan. Etc"

During the trial of the Bertels
and Jake Yost, the Pigeon Run often
ders, yesterday afternoon at the Mayors
Court, "Mrs." Yost was placed on the
stand. The first question asked her by
Prosecutor Welty was "when she was
married" The woman Immediately
answered by asking "Is that in this
case?' Mr.. Welty then excused her,
and her husband" Jake Yost, was
placed in the witness chair. "Are you
a married man?" eyes" The Prose
cutor then questioned Yost as to the
time of his marriage and his wife.
Yost declined to answer, and dispute
arose between counsel as to the rele-
vancy of the questions. Mr.. Welty
said he desired to show that this
couple were living in state of adultery
and the Mayor allowed the questions.
Witness then admitted he was unmar-
ried and living in adultery with the
woman known as "Mrs. YOst." During
this time the woman grew very demon
strative and began to vent her displeas-
ure by vigorous use of her tongue, and
it was only after she was warned that
unless she preserved silence she would
be placed under arrest that she ceased
jabbering.
Now the Prosecutor intimates that ne
will cause the arrest of this couple fol
perjury and adultery. Mr.. Welty said
to a DEMOCRAT reporter that while he
did not know the parties, he suspected
something rotten when "Mrs. Yost'
declined to answer the first question
asked her.
Evidently Pigeon Run is q malodor.
GUS neighborhood, and the officials are
determined to purify it, even if it takes

Got the Wrong Man.

When Mayor Blake sentenced An
thony Bartels to four months in JAIL
BarteIs' brother Matthias, who was also
up before the Mayor, was discharged.
Neither of these men can speak Eng
lish, and their testimony was given
through an interpreter. After the case
had been disposed of, Matthias Bartels
left the Mayors office to go home.
Sheriff Leininger was in the room when
the Mayor sentenced Anthony to four
months in the bastile, and it appears he
got the identity of the two brothers
mixed for when Matthias left the room
the Sheriff followed him into the street
and asked him where he was going,
Bartels replied, "home." 81 guess not;
just you come back to the Mayors of
flee, said Leininger, who thought his
prisoner was trying to escape. Upon
arriving at the Mayors room matters
were explained, and Matthias pointed
at his brother as the unfortunate, and
departed. The laugh was on the Sher.
iff, and he will probably settle with the
boys with box of cigars.

FORAN TALKS
Respecting the Visit of the English Lord
Chamberlain.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.HSpecial. +
Congressman Foran, of Ohio, in an in
terview with a reporter respecting Mr..
Chamberlain's visit to Washington,
said: 81 believe that the fisheries ques
ton is only one of the objects of Mr.
Chamberlain mission to this country.
don't think he cares much about the
fishery question. 1t may not be in his
official Instructions, but l believe that
one of the principal objects of
his visit here is to get up
if he can, an Anglo-saxon
sentiment in this country. He can't do
it, however, for nine-tenths of all
Americans are in sympathy with Ire
land in her fight for home rule. His
sentimental notices about blood being
thicker than water don't ap-
ply. Blood is thicker than water
now, just as it was in the
war of the Revolution, and just as it
was when the British soldiers, little
more than half a century ago, sacked
the American capital. 1t is not an Irish
sentiment in America that favors Ire
lands freedom. 1t is the true Amer
lean sentiment that will always be
found in sympathy with the spirit of
freedom everywhere"

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17.-[Special.l
Several days ago a sailor who was
was imprisoned on the English flagship
Triumph, now lying in San Francisco
Bay, jumped through port hole and
swan ashore, a distance of several
miles He was pursued but strong
gale was blowing at the time, and dark
ness coming on, he reached the wharves
where he would have perished from ex-

caused several other sailors on the Tri-
umph to escape. Henry Ryder and
John Stanley, two of the crew, have
performed the feat of jumping from
the Triumph with $40 in their clothes.
They swan against the out going tide
for four hours, and were found un-
conscious but struggling on the surface
of the water by fishermen four miles
down the Bay from the Triumph's
anchorage. When able to walk they
made their way to sailors boarding
house, and will be shipped on a mer-

DEAD TO R1eHGs.
Two Men Who Are Likely sollvAis
Columbus.


About half-past one O'clock this
morning, as Officer Owens was walking
past the grocery and provision store of
Sage & WAGNER, on the corner of
Cherry and Tuscarawas streets, he
heard a peculiar noise in the cellar of
the store. Thinking it might be Occa-
stoned by dog, he descended the steps
to the cellar and peering in discerned
the forms of two men cropping about in
the darkness. Hastily summoning Of
ficers Yant and McCOrt, who were near
at hand, the three policemen went into
the cellar and c0llared the men. The
couple had in their possession a basket
containing bananas, cocoanuts and an
assortment Of lead pencils. Mr.. Sage
was summoned, and he identified the
fruits as goods belonging to his firm.
The lead pencils had been obtained
from some other place.
The men were placed under arrest
and taken to the city prison. This
morning they were handed over to the
custody of Sheriff Leininger, and are
now in the county bastile. They gave
their names as Frank ArtZ and George
Fredericks. Artz is the man who led
the Salvation Army last summer in the
capacity of drum-major. Fredericks
lives on Walnut street.
The men gained entrance to the cellar
by knocking in window. They had
not yet visited the stOrerOom above
when arrested.
The case against the men is clear, and
they are likely to do penance in states
prison for the crime. The couple will
probably be given hearing this after
noon,

A TARIFF REFoRMER
Is the President of the Pennsylvania State
Grange-An Interesting Report.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16.-A special
to the Telegraph from Harrisburg says:
State Granger Overseer McSparren
threw a dynamite bomb, in the shape
of a quasi-free e-trade report, into the
State Grange Patrons of Husbandry
yesterday morning, which created
somewhat of a sensation.
McSparren, of Lancaster, in his re-
port reviewed the success of the Grange
as an organization. He appealed to
the farmers not to be misled on the raw
material, and gave figures to show that
to protect a wool industry amounting
to $45,00OO0O, the people pay as con
sumers an excess of $14000O,O00. Then
he quoted from figures showing the
assessed valuation of farms to Illus
trate how freight determinations were
unjust taxatiOns and high tariffs are
crippling the agricultural resources.
From 1850 to 1850, under low tariff,
farms increased 100 per cent in valua
ton. From 1860 to 1870, under high
tariff, Al per cent increase, and from
1870 to $780, under high tariff, but per
cent. He opposed the repeal of in
ternal revenue tax and favored tariff
reform, but not indiscriminate free
trade. The report was referred to the
Committee on Division of Labor.

( QUEER pow Law DECISION.
A Number of "Drug Stores Added to
Every Town in the State.


COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 15.--The most
important decision yet rendered on the
Dow law-and one that will be well
received by the salOOnkeepers in local
Option yillages-Was announced by the
circuit court at HillsborO yesterday.
The circumstances of the case are as
follows: Hillsboro, after considerable
agitation, voted to have local option
and the saloons in the village were all
closed. They opened, however, soon
after ostensibly for the purpose of sell
ING temperance drinks only, such as
pop, ginger ale, lemon tonic and grape
soda, but soon began selling wines,
LIQUORS and beer on prescriptions from
physicians. OF course every citizen III
the village Immediately became SICK
and the great specific and panacea for
all ills, whisky, was the first remedy
applied. - uo,,,,,o
its usual proportions and citizens who
desired had prescription filled with
every saloonkeeper in the village. The
physician also did land office business
charging from so cents to 81 for each
prescription. The temperance people

this condition of affairs and caused the
saloonkeepers to be arrested for yiolat-
ing the Dow law. The case was heard
by Judge Higgins on the Common
Pleas bench, who decided that the
saloonkeepers were violating the Dow
law and fined them heavily. The case
was appealed to the Circuit
Court, composed of Judges
Bradbury, CherringtOn and Clark,
all Republicans. They reversed Judge
Higgins decision, holding that any
one can fill such prescription, not
withstanding that the prohibitory or
dinance was in effect. They also held
that to decide otherwise would give the
druggists a monopoly not warranted by
the constitution and laws of the state.
This is the first decision on points
raised against the Dow law that has
been favorable to salOOnkeepers, and If
the supreme court sustainS the decision
of the circuit court 1t will almost com
pletely nullify the local option feature.
The case will be taken to the supreme
court aud pressed for an early hearing.

Over a Girl.
GREENvILLE, O., Dec. l4-The peo-
pie OF this county are again aroused
over another murder which occurred
about 7 o'clock last evening in the we'll
known neighborhood called the negro
settlement, about twelve miles west of
here. Lee Swainey and Sumner Du-
rant, half brothers, quarrelled about
who should ride with girl whom they
were conveying home to work. Swain
ey jumped out of the spring wagon, an
gered by the curses of Durant, who was
walking, and set-tO took place, but
neither was much bruised. The girl
ran to a house along the road not far
off, and when about one hundred yards
from the men heard four pistol shots.
Swainey shot Durant twice, once in the
chest, lodging in tie stomach, and below
the seventh rib, penetrating the aOrta,
causing almost instant death. Another
shot passed through his coat. Swainey
gave himself up to the officers, pleading
self-defense, and is now in Jail. This
makes the seventh murder in or about
the negro settlement, and the second
one in this county this year But few
know anything about the tragedy who
would be worth much as witnesses.
